Wednesday he was so bad he didn't eat dinner. He coughs and gets sweating horribly and is totally wrung out. Hospice says this will probably continue and get worse. He has been gurgling some when he breathes. Odd sound!
LP

Sounds like he might develop pneumonia. Does your father have congestive heart failure?

I'm keeping you both in my prayers.

Thanks for the prayers. No he doesn't have congestive heart failure, just lung and lymph system cancer. His lungs are filling up with cancer and he can't breath very well. He is also creating more secretions. From what hospice said this sounds normal. He asked for and received a hospital bed yesterday. Resting at an angle helps him breath easier.

At least he is resting.

My wife's 100-year-old uncle died yesterday. He had been living on the family farm by himself until 2 years ago, and only then did he move in with a daughter's family. He had been in the hospital for about two months, and we knew the end was near. I'm hoping that's enough funerals for a while.

PS Thanks for staying around!

Sorry, it's a lot of things. Mostly, if I come here to chat, no one is here. I've had a really rough month and haven't felt like chatting. My husband dragged me into a new game, the game is alright, but the community is amazing, and I'm traveling. Right now I'm visiting my parents.

Just glad to hear from you! Hope you are having a good visit with your parents. What is happening on the job front? LP

Jawsuser - job hunt, hmm yeah large part of why I'm not here.... setting up more email alerts from jobs pages. It's all so discouraging when nothing jumps out. I wish there was a "find your perfect job" page, of course I need someone to tell me what else is my perfect job.

If you find that person please send them my way. I am starting to think about jobs for when dad dies.

Sorry to hear finding a job is being so hard. Knowing where you live I'm not surprised. I once applied for a library tech job and was competing with a bunch of people with Masters for the job in the next town over. LP

Yeah, 45 applicants for a part-time local library gig, not really surprised I didn't get an interview.
